CHI post game

James Johnson is taking the Raps to the promised land! ha, not quite but good start nonetheless. No one can deny his size and physicality - I like it. Still wish we had the first round pick and him! 5 rebs, 3 blks, 6 FTA made 5, highlight dunk.

Bargnani and DD had 48 points between them. More impressive is the 8 assits between them - 4 each. More impressive again, 18/19 FT between them.

looks like we have a promising defensive minded foward, its been awhile

It will be interesting to see how he plays against other teams. Will he bring the same intensity? Did he have an advantage playing against these guys for 2 years? Not trying to be a buzz-kill but one game, as impressive as it was, is still one game.

Take away the 4-5 missed shots on fouls and he is 50% for the night.
Take away the deep, deep 3 with 2 left on shot clock and he is over 50% for the night.

However when comparing him to others they also get fouled so 50% is not so impressive. He continues to shoot a percentage like a 2 not a 5 OR a 4. That said if he continues to play hard and actually play D then great. Track record doesn't bear that out but hey it's a rebuild year.

Good point.

I guess no matter what he does he will always do something wrong for a lot of Raps fans. It is a shame, really.

Personally, I thought he played very well this tonight and was a big part of the team's win.

Everyone sans Bayless played generally well. Bayless has huge braces on both of his knees, and his confidence looks shot. Say what you want our his body language but the guy runs on swag. That doesn't excuse his horrendous play of late though.

And Bargs got 8 boards, played passable D AND scored at a decent clip against an elite defensive team. Why the hell can't he do this more? >.>

James Johnson is our saviour, until he has a crappy game, and then we'll want to throw in away for nothing and realize that we are going to miss out on that steal of the draft that we obviously can't possibly trade for.

fuck bargnani and calderon

I know the thread is post game so just wanna say all I saw was 2 minute highlights but the derozan alley to JJ was lookin good. Just want to say one thing with the trade deadline here I dont know why were not selling calderon bargnani and barbosa. With Calderon and Bargnani on this team we will continue to be the worst defensive team in the league. I dont care how good bargnani and calderon look on offense (inconsistently).. they still are two of the worst defenders in the league period and they are top 2 highest paid on the team. If ur getting paid 9 mill and 8 mill respectively u better be good on both ends of the court.
